The good news: this week's insider sales to buys were half of last week's 147x. The bad news: this week's insider selling to buying came at 69.3x. As a reminder, a baseline bearish indication occurs whenever the insider selling surpasses 30x. That it has surpassed that threshold for virtually every week in the past two years seems to continue to be lost on investors. There were 8 insider purchases of S&P 500 stocks for $3.4 million, the bulk of which was in Marshall & Ilsley stock for $1.7 million, while the sales were focused on Heinz, Iron Mountain, Agilent, Broadcom and NetApp, where insiders dumped a total of $86 million.

The United States may be about to let oil giant TransCanada build 1,702 miles of pipeline -- they call it “Keystone XL” -- to funnel highly toxic tar sands from Alberta, Canada, all the way to refineries in Texas and Louisiana.

The only person standing between TransCanada and its plan to corrupt the American Midwest and vulnerable Gulf Coast in the name of oil profits is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who can either approve or deny the Presidential Permit needed to cross the US-Canada border.

Keystone XL would endanger pristine areas of Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana -- as well as the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest source of water for drinking and crop irrigation in the country.

TransCanada claims the pipeline will be safe, but they said that last time, too.

When TransCanada was hammering through approval for their first pipeline, they swore the pipeline would only leak “every seven to eleven years” -- but its pumping stations have had 12 spills in just the last year. Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation had to order TransCanada to shut down the pipeline because of ongoing safety concerns.

Right now, oil companies are pulling out all the stops to urge Secretary Clinton to permit this disastrous new tar sands pipeline.

Fight back against TransCanada and protect American health and safety. Public opposition is the only way to convince Secretary Clinton to stop the pipeline, so please sign the Sierra Club’s Change.org petition today:

Not sure, but he might be really busy just now bailing out of Netflix on the $14 per share high to low reversal...you know, since the P/E reached the moon exactly at the same point in time that some of their contracts [Starz] just increased ten fold.
